NAF EXAM ( ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY) ACTUAL EXAM
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED SOLUTIONS LATEST
UPDATE THIS YEAR
anatomy - ANSWER-study of structure and form; derived from Greek word
Anatome which means to cut apart or dissect; Anatomists study structure and form
of organims studying the relationships among parts of the body and the structure of
individual organs
physiology - ANSWER-the study of function of the body parts; physiologists
examine how organs and body systems function under normal circumstances as
well as how their functions are altered with medication or disease
branches of anatomy - ANSWER-microscopic- structures that cannot be observed
to the unaided eye
(cytology- study of body cells and their internal structure;
histology- study of tissues)
gross anatomy- structures that can be observed to the unaided eye,; macroscopic
(systemic anatomy- anatomy of each body system;
regional anatomy- examines all of the structures in a particular region of the body
as a complete unit)
embryology - ANSWER-discipline concerned with developmental changes
occuring from conception to birth
comparative A&P - ANSWER-examines similarities and differences of anatomy
and physiology of different species
1
, pathophysiology - ANSWER-relationship between the functioning of an organ
system and disease or injury to that organ system
basic qualities of life - ANSWER-organization- each organism has a complex
structure and order
metabolism- the sum of all chemical reactions to occur within a body; anabolism
(smaller molecules form larger) and catabolism (larger molecules are broken down
to smaller)
growth and development- each organism assimilates materials from its
environment and often grows and develops
responsiveness- ability to sense and react to stimuli
regulation- ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in the face of
environmental changes- homeostasis- ability of an organism to maintain a
consistent internal environment
organization of the human body - ANSWER-chemical level- consists of atoms,
molecules, macromolecules, and organelles
cell level- consists of cells, made up of structures and molecules from chemical
level
tissue level- made up of tissues which are made of cells
organ level- made up of organs made up of 2-3 tissue types that work together for
specific, complex functions
organ system level- organs that work together to coordinate activities and acheive a
common function
anterior - ANSWER-in front of
posterior - ANSWER-in back of
